Chapter 102 real skills

On May 13, the Chinese and American air forces launched an attack on the Japanese army in the canyon. The rumble of bombs and the rattling of machine guns resounded through the canyon.The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, and the frightened army horses fell into the small river at the bottom of the valley, causing the valley to be blocked. Most of the Japanese troops have lost hope and confidence in surviving the encirclement.Lieutenant Pingyuan Kazuo, the captain of the Mountain Artillery Regiment, proposed to Takiji that instead of waiting to die in the canyon and suffering these living crimes, it would be better to do a suicide attack, and it would be a one-hundred-and-a-half.

Takiji is still very clear-headed, and believes that there is still a glimmer of hope for the breakthrough, and he should not give up on it.What supported his idea was an urgent telegram from the head of the Lingtian division: "The division has decided to go all out to the direction of the mountain gate in order to rescue your troops!" On the evening of May 14, the Japanese army launched a desperate night attack under the command of Takiji Temple, and then they were able to rush out of the canyon.Two days later, a small number of survivors reunited with the 133rd Regiment, so that the 109th Regiment was not completely annihilated by the establishment.

The mountain route passed by the 109th Regiment of the Japanese Army was not too far from the map, with a total of only 25 kilometers. However, under the siege and interception of the Chinese army, their average daily retreat distance was only 3 kilometers.Especially in Taolin, it was difficult to move an inch, and even the whole boat almost capsized.Until two years after the war, the old battlefields in the Taolin area were still full of stench and flies covering the ground. When the nearby residents went into the ditch to cut firewood and hogweed, relics such as guns, sabers and shell casings were everywhere. It is not difficult to imagine the severity of the trauma.

As early as in the battle of Shanggao, which the 74th Army was proud of, the 51st Division won the No. In order to be eye-catching, in the Battle of Longtan, the 51st Division gained a lot, creating a new record for the division since the War of Resistance.This powerful team code-named "Wenchang" once again completed self-transcendence, proving that it was absolutely true that they were able to get the title of No. 1 in the martial arts. Post-war awards, the 51st Division won a group and individual martial arts certificate, and a flag of honor. A Brown Oak Medal. The 57th Division's record in defending Jiangkou was by no means inferior to that of its brothers.This basically rebuilt "Hu Ben Division" inherited the expertise of the old troops in defense, blocked the fierce attack of more than 9,000 Japanese troops from the main force of the 116th Division, killed and wounded nearly 6,000 Japanese troops, and almost wiped out the two regiments. The varsity became a league.

Half a year ago, it was the 116th Division of the Japanese Army that broke through Changde, almost causing the entire 57th Division to be wiped out.Now they stood up again, and in turn beat their opponents all over the place. The former enemy headquarters reported the results of the battle to the allied forces. Several American generals were a little skeptical after seeing it, and asked, "Can you visit the front position in person?" Qiu Weida replied immediately: "As long as you are willing, I will accompany you." On the third day after the Japanese army retreated, that is, on May 10, He Yingqin, together with Wang Yaowu, Qiu Weida, Shi Zhongcheng, and US generals McClure and Batru, took two armed helicopters to inspect the front.Accompanying the inspection were more than 20 Chinese and foreign journalists.

The first stop of the inspection was Qingyan, guarded by the Second Battalion of the 171st Regiment of the 57th Division.Because there may still be Japanese army routs that slipped through the net, the battalion commander Li Zhongliang specially dispatched some capable soldiers from each company to take charge of the guards, and a sentry post more than ten meters away was lined up from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Afterwards, Li Zhongliang accompanied the senior generals to various positions and strongholds to watch and explain the battle process to them.All the fortifications along the way were riddled with bullets, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers were still lying on the ground.Li Zhongliang pointed to the large pile of corpses and said that although they could no longer speak, they were the best witnesses of the hand-to-hand combat.

The visitors stopped and watched repeatedly, and the journalists and photographers were extremely busy.Batrou approached the pile of dead bodies and counted them again, saying repeatedly: "It's really amazing." Then a pile of dead bodies were found at the foot of the mountain, and one of them was a junior officer.McClure asked a soldier at the scene: "How did you win this war?" The soldier replied generously: "Our motherland was invaded by the Japanese army. We can only survive by fighting the enemy bravely and driving the enemy out." McClure gave a thumbs up: "The Chinese have ambition, and the Chinese army is doing well!"

The biggest highlight of the Second Battalion was Zhou Beichen Company. They fought bloody battles at the front for seven consecutive days and nights, killing more than 300 Japanese soldiers at the cost of only more than 100 casualties.It is indeed a brilliant result for a company to achieve such a great victory in its own combat area, which is very rare in the War of Resistance. Accompanied by Li Yan, commander of the 57th Division, the inspectors rode up to the top of the mountain for observation.They saw that in front of Zhou Beichen's company's position, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers lay all over the place, the enemy's dead bodies were everywhere in the skirmishers, and all kinds of gun bunkers were destroyed. The scene was extremely spectacular.

Zhou Beichen was appointed to report. The heroic company commander told the story of the battle vividly. Although there was a sudden thunderstorm at that time, all the people present heard it from beginning to end, nodding and smiling from time to time. After the report, McClure stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Beichen's shoulder, and praised repeatedly: "Good boy, good boy!"
